KATHMANDU: Westerly winds spurred cloudy conditions and brought precipitation across Nepal on Monday.

As a low pressure system was developed in areas around Haryana of India and a low pressure belt got formed from Bihar to Odisha due to the westerly winds, rainfall was triggered in Nepal, according to meteorologist Samir Shrestha at the Meteorological Forecasting Division.

The system began on Sunday and is moving eastward.

Weather will improve from Wednesday, Shrestha said.

According to the Meteorological Forecasting Division, skies in the far-western and central Nepal will become clearer from this afternoon.

Weather in the Capital and eastern Nepal are expected to see improvement by the evening.

However, eastern Nepal will continue to come under the influence of westerly winds and will see rainfall coupled with thunder in the day time till Tuesday.

Though the westerly winds have affected the weather for the past few days, their impact in Nepal was seen only from yesterday.

According to MFD, Simara witnessed the maximum rainfall in the past 24 hours with 16 mm while Dang recorded 14 mm, Biratnagar 10 mm and the Kathmandu Valley received 4 mm rainfall in this period.
